AfD Nomination: Mum Wants a Bungalow
editThe Mekon nominated the article Mum Wants a Bungalow for deletion under the Articles for deletion process.

The nominator has explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mum Wants a Bungalow. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Mum Wants a Bungalow during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --WikiSlasher 15:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
re Midas (Band)
editRight, well, these chaps don't meet the WP:MUSIC notability standards. When and if they have a couple of albums or a national tour behind them, that'll be different. Herostratus 03:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Midas.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Midas.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Midas...
editSee Midas' talkpage as to why the page has been changed. You can't just cut/paste information into the Wikipedia from other sources. It's also not in an appropriate style. Ignore the comments above - Midas have charted and are now notable. Basement Jaxx have a page and I believe they were beaten by Midas, so why not eh? Thanks. If you need anything, give me a shout...

lol, don't look at me - I didn't put the bio infomation in Icecold 13:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's not perfect, but check the page now - the band's history is the next big section. I've given the points to find out about on the talk page. Alas, I think you'd need to talk to Kris and the gang about that, since I only really know Dave, who has only been in the circle since late '06. Don't forget to make reference to Ryan Edwards - funny lol. Worley-d 15:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Help
editFor some reason the edits i've made on Xtreme_Radio are only appearing when I log in, and not to other people or if I use IE7 (which I never use to login). What's going on?
- I can see three changes made by you, here. Are these the ones you are talking about, or where there others? Tiddly-Tom 22:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Yep, if you clear your cache and go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xtreme_Radio my edits do not appear, if I use that link you provided with an empty cache it shows it, it seems some kind of caching issue somewhere. I'd blame my connection but a friend has checked from his home connection and his work connection with the same result. I don't quite understand it. Icecold (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- After clearing my cache it still works. I'm leaving the helpme up for input from another editor. Tiddly-Tom 23:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I see them both ways. - Revolving Bugbear 23:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's still not working if I view it logged out, and i've tried another connection. Try using a browser you don't use for wikipedia or logging out and clearing cookies/cache and the edits disappear (well for me anyway) Icecold (talk) 23:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just tried in IE and did not work until viewing the diffs then loading page content again! Very strange! By the way - good choices of favourite radio shows ;) Tiddly-Tom 23:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Haha thanks :) Is this some kind of bug in the wikipedia software or something? I wonder if it has something to do with me editing from an IP thats banned (i'm editing from the university network), shouldn't have an effect but I've never had this problem before... So perhaps it is having an effect? Icecold (talk) 23:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I can view your edits in both IE 7 and Firefox, no problem. Strange... I'll remove the helpme, though, as this seems to be one of those bugs that only the Powers That Be would understand. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 23:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well i've reported it as a bug on the bug wiki so hopefully will be looked at. [1] Icecold (talk) 01:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Midas.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Midas.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 22:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Sutube_logo.png)
editThanks for uploading File:Sutube_logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 22:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
